[QUOTE="Reggie Lives, post: 4569320, member: 549549"] I'm about to amp my front speakers, and had a few simple questions before I start taking off my door panels. 1-Whats the best way to do this? I plan on running new speaker wire from my amp to my speakers. I also want to leave the stock wiring in the door incase I sell the car (I also kept the stock speakers). Should I just cut the wires between the truck harness / aftermarket harness, or the aftermarket harness/HU harness, or just leave everything in place. (Running a 9886, so can turn off internal amplification if that makes a difference....) 2-I have a 1-4g -> 4-8g power distributor, but I am only using 2 of the outputs. Is this doable, or should I try and find another power distributor? 3-I'm installing an alpine m-650 and a alpine f450. Will my 1996 Toyota T100 be able to handle it with a stock everything in terms of electrical/big 3? I'm assuming it will, but someone mentioned the PDX series might be less of a load on the truck. 4-I'm getting a 4 ch amp so I can easily add a component set in the future, but for now bridging the 2 channels would probably be too much power. Do I need to *turn off* 2 of the channels on a 4 channel amp, or simply wire the fronts to the first 2 channels and leave everything else. 5- Can both amps be grounded to the same location? Thanks, [/QUOTE]
